Description

Tian Jian tea is created through a special fermentation process that takes longer than black tea but considerably less time than ripe pu-erh. The tea is then roasted over pine fire by hand to dry it. Tian Jian is one of 7 types of “Jian” class hei cha produced in An Hua county of Hunan. This tea is a blend of three Tian Jian, each with a different level of oxidization!

The taste is strong and full in the mouth with hints of tobacco, molasses but with a noticeable floral umami character. Tea soup is golden orange color, the leaf displays a variety of colors.
